[Info-mtools] [PATCH] Continue even if fs size is not divisible by sectors-per-track

[Jussi Kukkonen]

Filesystem with a size that is not divisible by sectors-per-track is
not really broken: it might be unoptimized on media where heads and
cylinders actually matter.

Preserve the warning but make mtools continue even if fs size is not
divisible by sectors-per-track.

This patch appplies to 4.0.18.

It was inspired by recent changes to dosfstools which make it quite
difficult to create filesystems that fulfill this sanity check.
